- Lots of tweets from Jason Frakes about how low scoring the S16 was this season. He is an advocate for a shot clock in high school (which is ridiculous) and is also becoming an insufferable douche (like so many others in his vocation). The reason that scoring is down is because possessions are longer in the post season. Longer possessions = fewer possessions. GRC can guard all over the floor. WCentral can guard all 5 guys all over the floor. Good teams that make the S16 usually have good PGs that don't turn the ball over. So it takes a while to get a good look against elite defenses like that. Put a 35 or 40 second shot clock on that and you'll have more dead ball turnovers, worse shot attempts, worse shooting percentages, worse flow of the game.
You being against the shot clock in HS is a surprise.

- Yeah can’t get with Strokin on a lack of a shot clock.

- That Netflix Vegan doc series PTI referenced is insane. Smoking hot, successful Wharton-educated NYC restauranteur gets duped by a disgustingly husky con man.

- Cal can’t say anything that will make anything suck less right now besides Oscar , Sharpe and/or TyTy are back. So if he can’t say that, I’d rather he stfu, stay off social media, recruit, study NBA offense and lay low.

I can barely fathom how far we’ve fallen.

Cal needs to throw away (or store gently) the trappings, trinkets and baubles of 2012. Strip his office to studs and make an introspective Rocky IV training warehouse with zero running water and scant electrical service.

Tear it down. No luxuries, no ********.

Post-St Peters era begins now. Eff this soft-iridescent Nike and non-conforming hairdos.

Gold standard, my ***…

Get some turtles, drink some eggs, drop some pounds…Need a Mickey to scream sense into his stupid, lazy ***.

Knowing that Leach will ask Cal to discuss what went wrong in the post-season, I know we'll be wholly dissatisfied with his answers.

Without a doubt he will first blame injuries disrupting the rotation/chemistry and then he'll likely throw in some utter ******** pondering about what he wished he had done differently that is completely illogical or irrelevant.

Things like how he wishes he had started Bryce Hopkins, called a timeout up 6 (as opposed to calling one to set up the final shot), they had traveled a day earlier/later, etc.

The WNBA came around to realize the majority of the players and fans are lesbians. I would assume women's college BB is in the same boat. And they care about this sort of thing. Nobody else does. But they do. So they kind of play to this sort of thing.

wear team shoes
One of the dumbest "yelling at clouds", boomer takes of all time. Everybody has different feet. I wore Jordan's through grade school and middle school and there was an immediate, noticeable difference when I got to High School and "team shoes". Athletes, especially at that level, should wear the shoes that are the most comfortable. Foot issues are kind of a thing for gigantic basketball players.

Maybe wear only blue/white/black shoes only as a compromise, but I can't muster a single f about our shoes.

Can’t remember if i posted this here or not so forgive me if i’m repeating

But - if any of y’all think you MIGHT ever have an older loved one that you’ll have to provide care for —- PLEASE take a little time here and there and start familiarizing yourself with stuff like medical powers of attorney, living wills , recent changes to medicare and what resources/ppl you have that can be applied to the significant effort of giving back to those who raised and cared for you

y’all be good now

After everything I’ve been through the past 2 years I got everything in order! Beneficiaries lined out, an agreed to consultant on bourbon company because my wife would have no clue, and every inherited dollar is accounted for and exactly where it’s to go.

I’ll never let that stuff get out of order. What a mess it can be!

A softball interview with Tom Leach was the right call. Cal is blathering out the hour with an appropriate tone, taking sole blame, etc. Just get through it while making minimal headlines.

Not a fan of that Sharpe answer, though. He couldn't say anything other than "Shaedon has to explore his options, blah, blah, blah..." but I could have used an affirmative "we are going to evaluate our recruiting going forward to make sure that the players we invest our resources in are players that win games for the University of Kentucky."

Farfetched -- probably -- but NOW is the time to be kissing every centimeter of BJW's collective asscheeks, imo.

I’m referring to the colors. If everybody is wearing blue and white shoes I will not notice. It’s when dudes are out there wearing pink and yellow mismatched shoes looking like a bunch of fairies is where I have the problem.

Barnhart is such a fruit. "This program is built for March! We're built to win championships!"

That tone-deaf, autistic ****. I cannot wait until he's gone. Give Dwayne Peavy the job and turn the page. If I never hear from him, Ryan Lemond, or Matthew Mitchell again, I'll be just fine. I've had enough cornball for awhile.

Delaying the inevitable.

All that moron said was the same **** he always says.

I guess we’ve got three more years of this garbage unless there’s a massive fan boycott like Joker. Oh well. Go Cats!

99% of John Q Golfplayer doesn’t care about what Phil said… why is he letting that affect him?



Because he's a Beta male pansy, that's why.

Grow some balls, Phil. Pushing back against "the man" in pro sports has happened since the dawn of time, and calling out the Saudis for their brutal, oppressive regime is a pretty standard belief.

What a little *****.

I just don’t see where next years expectations come from. I’m seeing we are one of the best teams next year and I can’t see it from any perspective no matter is Sharpe came back or any other FR come in.

I would have loved for him to be honest about who is out, who is back and what we see coming in and how he plans for that to work.

We can win a National Championship with Wheeler, and Frederick will be a huge addition. I'm excited about the growth of Daimion Collins, but he's such a project that I'm afraid we'll never see him play at a super high level in college.

That's all I got. The remaining players on the roster:

likely: Brooks, Toppin, Ware, Hopkins, Allen = they all have their roles, but are just not built to be big time college players
freshman: meh

I'm assuming everyone else is gone, because college basketball.

So here we are. Fat Man Cal better *crush* the waiver wire, or else we are toast.
